right now the way they do it is most of the people that work the con work for blzz and volunteer to work it. I think for freeso if they move it to some place that is not CA not only will your ticket price triple but in less it's in the armpit of the USA (aka) Florida in November its going to be a frozen wasteland...and not even merlocks will go to Florida...

What are you talking about? Merlocks are FROM Florida. Swamp. Hello!

Why would anyone make hotel reservations for a convention they're unlikely to be lucky enough to get tickets to?

I believe those who make reservations ahead of time get an advanced ticket opportunity.I see that you get special Blizzcon hotel rates (which is standard for many conventions). Where do you see that people with reservations get advanced ticket opportunities? That would make booking this far in advance worth it.

This is why I said "I believe" meaning essentially that I'm not certain. I was just under that impression from others that have previously attended. I'm likely mistaken.

You know what? Screw Blizzcon. For the umpteenth time they screw over fans anywhere that's not the West Coast. Why is it that lower budgeted Cons can travel ALL OVER THE US.. but the most profitable gaming company in relative history cant leave Anaheim? I have bought Blizzard products for almost 20 years, and this just feels like another attempt at "Oh, cant go to Anaheim? Buy into our livefeed so you miss 95% of everything and your questions wont be answered!"

That's jacked up, Blizz.. seriously.

Oh boohoo. What about other continents? You know some of us even need a visa to get in the USA? Not to mention the huge distance difference compared to you?

On-topic, glad there will be a Blizzcon this year. Hope they give more info on the movie.

Your post makes me feel like you think that there's no world outside of the US. That's jacked up, seriously.I think you'll get to Anaheim a bit easier than people from Europe and Asia for example.

Might have to make the trip from Australia, might be the last chance I get to see the spectacle that is Blizzcon!

Dude I wouldn't I mean I would go to Blizzconn but not if I wasn't going other things in the U.S at the same time period.

Last time I went from Australia (where I live) to the U.S (for a week holiday) It was 14 hours from Sydney to L.A and then they had plane malfunctions (Mid Air) on the way back but nothing serious more like "Hmm we should check that out when we land" on the way back and they had to take routes that avoided any turbulence nad it was 19 hours on the way back....32 ish hours In the Air..

That Doesn't count the thousands it costs in Airfares return and accommodation lol.Have to be a pretty damn devoted fan to do that just for Blizzcon.

I consider myself Fairly devoted owning every game Blizzard has made from Warcraft 1 Orcs and Humans to MoP COllectors HotS Collectors (Pre Order) and Diablo 3 Collectors and I wouldn't do...Besides The Stream is only $50 and you still get the pet.

I just reserved my room at the Hilton in anticipation of getting tickets. If anyone in Utah is planning on going and looking to carpool, just reply to me here.
